20 HBAI Publication Changes for 2013/14 Extremely minimal in order to introduce stability to the series following significant revisions for the 2012/13 publication, including: Significant re-grossing exercise based on 2011 Census Streamlined report structure single readable report with tables moved online New disability chapter bringing this content together in one place Enhanced reporting of uncertainty - confidence intervals are available for many more estimates Additional Publication Tables 3-year averages on regional income 20
21 Adjusting for Inflation Continued to use variants of RPI to adjust for inflation in 2013/14 HBAI: as a within year deflator; to look at how incomes are changing over time in real terms, i.e. in comparison to inflation; and to up-rate the absolute low income threshold, based on 60 per cent of the 2010/11 median income up-rated to account for inflation. Current alternative indices do not have suitable AHC components Income figures deflated by RPIJ, CPI and CPIH are presented in an Annex Timeline to date January 2013 National Statistician announced that RPI does not meet the required standard for designation as National Statistics May 2013 Paul Johnson invited to lead review of UK price indices January 2015 Johnson Review report published with recommendations for UKSA June-September 2015 UKSA consultation on consumer price statistics Early 2016 UKSA Board final response.

29 Introduction The Pensioners Incomes Series (PI) contains estimates of the levels, sources and distribution of pensioners incomes. Overview: Pensioners income compared to the working age population Components and composition of pensioners incomes Pensioners in receipt of different sources of income Pensioners in the income distribution 29
30 Pensioners compared to the working age population The gap between pensioner and working age benefit units median net income AHC has reduced from 38 per cent lower in 1994/95 ( 173 compared to 281) to 8 per cent lower in 2013/14 ( 283 compared to 306) Pensioner unit median net income increased by 47 per cent BHC and 64 per cent AHC between 1994/95 to 2013/14, compared to 10 per cent BHC and 9 per cent AHC for working-benefit units 30
31 Trends in components of income 31
32 Composition of gross income Benefit income has gradually decreased in terms of the share of overall gross income, from 61 per cent in 1979 to 43 per cent in 2013/14 The contribution of earnings to total gross income grew from 14 per cent in 1998/99 to a peak of 20 per cent in 2009/ % Based on data from the FES Based on data from the FRS Percentage of weekly gross income 80% 60% 40% 20% Other income Earnings Investment income Personal pensions Occupational pensions Benefit income 0% / / / / / / / / / / / /14 32

38 Pensioner families in the overall household income distribution In 1979, 43 per cent of all pensioners were in the bottom fifth, but by 1998/99 this proportion had more than halved to 17 per cent in 1998/99, and decreased further to 13 per cent in 2013/14.

39 Income-related Benefits: Estimates of Take-up Scott Johnston Take-Up Team Department for Work and Pensions 39
40 Overview Take-up the receipt of benefits a claimant is entitled to Previous series: Last published in 2012 Consultation ended in October 2012 This publication: Can be published more timely than the previous series More transparent estimates of uncertainty More extensive use of DWP data sources: Increased use of data-matching the Family Resources Survey to administrative data for all benefits, and more extensive data-matching for Pension Credit to account for benefit confusion Presents figures for 2009/10, 2012/13 and 2013/14. 40
41 Estimating Take-up Take-up is estimated in two ways: Caseload take-up - compares the number of benefit recipients, averaged over the year, with the estimated number who would be receiving if everyone took up their entitlement for the full period of their entitlement. Expenditure take-up - compares the total amount of benefit received, in the course of a year, with the estimated total amount that would be received if everyone took up their entitlement for the full period of their entitlement. 41
42 Key Methodology Changes The new methodology is strongly focussed on using evidence to produce the take-up estimates. The previous use of arbitrary assumptions and nonevidence based (theoretical) adjustments has been avoided. The main changes that have been applied since the last publication include: Matching DWP administrative data with the FRS to improve data on receipt (where consent to link has been given) across all benefits in the report; Presenting uncertainty in the estimates using confidence intervals. By removing the error framework, we are improving transparency but still producing statistics that are fit for purpose in a complex area. 42
